Description
The pppoe_wrapper vendor daemon in the Amlogic Android SDK, used on Nexbox A95X TV boxes with Amlogic S905/S905X chips, has a command injection vulnerability. Local attackers can send crafted messages to a world-writable AF_UNIX datagram socket to execute arbitrary commands as root, leading to full privilege escalation.
